His LCIRDSII I had . intended to have given felt hi one or two • cases thi s morn i ng , b ut he it necessary to postpone them till to-morrow. ' One was in Colensan-street Chu rc h case, and another in Miller v. Elkins. • . WILLIAMS V. GOODCIIILD. The Court ordered this case to be resumed. A long discussion took place as to the course of argu ment to be proceeded in. Mr. Blunt, for the defend ant, took his Lordship's opinion upon it : the plaintiff had submitted a prima . facie case was made out to tithes, and after some of the defendant's Counsel bad been heard in support of a case of exemption, the Counsel for the plaintiff' had warned them that in reply they meant to produce a deed, showing that the prescription was destroyed. If that deed was to be produced, the defendant would have evidence to offer against it; but which evidence he thought, ought not to be brought forward until the paiutiff had shown a necessity for it. The result of the discussion was, that his Lordship considered it the duty of the counsel for the defendant, to meet the prima facie case of the plaintiff, by reli ance on all the, evidence that was before the Vice Chancellor, because Mr. Home, for the plaintiff; would have a right to call the Court's attention to any deed or piece of evidence whateVer, that was used in the Court below. Counsel then proceeded accord ingly. COURT OF KING'S BENCII—(Tms DAY.) JUDGMENT. Two young men, mimed Carrington and Hurbert, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court; for having been found guilty of having defrauded the Liverpool Dock COmpany of the dock dues. They had already been imprisoned nine months. Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment of the Court in his usual feeling manner .on such occa sions. He could not but deeply lament to see two such young men standing in the' situation in which the prisoners did,'one of whom, in particular, had con siderable prospects in life, and possessed talents which, if they had been applied to honourable pursuits, might have been productive of comfort and prosperity. It. happened in this case, as it had done, and would do, in almost every case, that the prisoners had been betrayed by the very persons in whom they bad confided in the course of their fraudu- lent dealings, and who, to save themselves, had dis closed the fact of their improper conduct. The Court, however, took into consideration the durance the pri soners had already undertone, and in the hope that this would deter them from the' like conduct on a future occasion, and be a warning to others, the sen tence was, that they should be imprisoned for a fur ther period of six months in Kirkley gaol, Lancashire. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--(Turn Mr.) RELLICK V. KEELING AND ANOTHER. The morning was occupied in hearing long argu ments for a new trial. The plaintiff purchased, and shipped, in Savannah, 80 hhds. of sugar, shipped to Mr. Petitte, in this country. The bill of lading and invoice were made out in the name of the plaintiff, as the owner of the sugars ; and all the letters between the parties treated bun as such. When the sugar came to the West India Docks, it was virtually put into the hands of ,Petitte ; but before it was removed, in the month of June, 1823, the defendants obtained a transfer of it from Mr. Petitte, upon which they advanced 1,2001. A Mr. Charles Gisold had previously advanced 4,000 dollars to the plaintiff, upon an understanding that he was to be paid out of the produce of the•sugar ; and the question for the Court's judgment was, whether an action of trover, on the part of the plaintiff', would lie ? The elaintifF contended it could ; and the defence was, that it could not, on the alleged ground that the plaintiff had nei ther the property nor the right of possession. The plaintiff's case was, that he had never done any act to divest himself of the possession. The case was going on when we left the Court. SHOCKING MURDER.—(Ttris DAY.) About half-past nine o'clock this morning, the neighbourhood "of Queen -street, Seven Dials, was thrown into the greatest alarm by the following hor rible circumstance : A Mrs. Brown, of No. 20, the wife of a dealer in coals, &c. had (it is supposed in a fit of jealousy) nearly severed`the head of a fine .girl, three years o ld. Mrs. BrOwn is between fifty and sixty, her husband about 32. The child was not her own, but, from what we can learn, had been lately sworn to her hus band by another woman. She some time ago agreed to receive it into her, care, which she did, and continued to treat it with very great kindness and affection. A few days ago, however, Mr. Brown had a quarrel with a neighbour, who reproached him se verely with his inconstancy in his wife's hearing, a circumstance which, it is supposed, has been preying on her mind ever since, although no symptoms of vio lence appeared previously to nine o'clock this morn ing. At this time the neighbourhood-was alarmed by the report of murder, and Pond, the constable, with a man of the name of Ledyard, ran up to the first floor back room, where they found the murdered child lying on the floor, literally stifled in its own blood. ft was quite dead; so they instantly proceeded to a front room, where they found Mrs. Brown seated, in great agitation, on a sofa ; they secured her i m mediately, not :however without great resistance on her part. Her appearance was dreadful; her arms and part of her dress being covered with the blood of the child : she was, however, conveyed to the watchhouse; but She having evinced symptom* of insanity on the read there,' it was deemed expedient to take her to the workhouse,' where she was confined in a strait waistcoat. The instrument of the murder was a large carving -knife, which was afterwards found near the child. Our Reporter was present at the examina tion of the infant by two surgeons, who politely ex plained the nature of the wound, and expressed their opinion that considerable violence had been used. — The windpipe, and the carotid artery on the right side of the neck, were completely severed ; there were two other slight cuts on the left side of the neck, and another on the small of the arm. It appeared to have been a very fine child, and was a great favourite with the neighbours. We understand that Mrs. Brown will not be examined until she makes her appearance before the Coroner. Mr. Brown, as May he con ceived, is in VeSfagony of mind ; but nothing has hitherto transpired .to , 9onneet him with this horrid circumstance. T _ 'Three out of seven convicts,. under sentence of transportation, who left Chester last week, on their way to the hulks, contrived to make their escape off the coach, in passing through Hampshire. One ,of them was retaken about 20 miles from Portsmouth the other two have contrived to remain undiscovered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW STRRET.—(Turs DAY.) . • ASSAULT AND zur.ottsY. A publican of the name of Lynch, charged with committing a desperate assault on a compositor of the name of Burdy, was brought before G. R. ilittesnuLL, Esq., by 11, an officer of Bow-street. Lynch keeps the house known by the name of the 'Crooked Billet in- Saint Clement's Church-yard,.—On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, Burdy, in company with some printers, were drinking in the parlour, when some words, relative to the supposed intimacy of a compositor with a female related to the landlord, took place, the • latter laid hold of a poker and struck Burdy a violent blow on the temple with it, which wounded him severely; he was in the act of repeating the blow when the persons present interfered, and wrested the poker out of his hand. Lynch then went into the bar, and seized a dirk or carving -knife, and rushed at Burdy, saying lie would " have the villain's lifer but the companions of Burdy again interfered, and prevented the perpetration of the act. Lynch, in his defence, said that Burdy called his wife a W----. 01 anti that h e would treat any one iu tlie same way who dared to use such en epithet towardeher. Burdy, however, most solemnly declared that he used uo such offensive language. The Magistrate said it was a most serious assault, and Lynch must find good bail--himself in 1001. and two sureties each for 501. A poor girl, named Ellea Berry, applied to the Sitting Magis trate for a warrant against an inhuman ruffian, named Fletcher, who had beaten her in the most cruel manner; her clothes were literally covered with blood, and her appearance was so deplor able, that Mr. Mrmsnuct, desired an Officer to take her imme diately to a Doctor, The warrant was granted, and an Officer despatched to execute it. EXECUTION. This morning the law NUS carried into effect, at the usual place of execution, on Joseph Taylor, aged 31, for horse-stealing; James Johnson, 23, for robbing his master, Mr. Munns ' an auctioneer, in Oxford street, of 2761. in cas h and bills of exchange ; and William Beryield and Robert Savage, for stealing in a dwelling-house to the amount of 40s. and upwards. The conduct of Savage from the moment of his conviction till within the last two days was . outrageous in the extreme, and treated the humane attempts of his spiritual advisers to bring him to a' proper sense of his awful situation with the greatest effrontery ima ginable, and indulged in the most profiane language. However, by the strenuous exertions of Mr. Cotton, the Rev. Ordinary, and the Rev. Mr. Baker, the mis auided man on Monday even i ng b ecame more deco ?, rous, and paid attention to the religious discourses of the above two gentlemen, and yesterday he was en gaged nearly the whole of the day in writing ters to his friends. ' About two o clock in the af ternoon, his 'wife and the wife Of Benfield, *ho is the sister of Savage, arrived at Newgate, and were permitted to take a last farewell of their unfortunate partners. The meeting on the part of the men was very calm and indifferent, the women were very much affected, but appeared at length more composed on being told by the unfbr tunate men that they felt every inward happiness, and they trusted in their Redeemer for forgiveness. Tay lor and Johnson were also visited by their friends and relatives; the wife of the former was dreadfully affected at beholding her unhappy husband, and they em braced each other repeatedly, the tears falling in tor rents from both. Johnson's father, an aged man, arrived from Kidderminster, where his unfortunate son was brought up, and the old man could scarcely withstand the melancholy task of taking his last fare well of one who, at one_ time, iiid fair to 'be an orna ment to society. The whole of the malefactors were very penitent, particularly Johnson, who received a reli gious education, and his downfall he attributed to ne glecting his church on the Sabbath, anti mixing with bad company. At a few minutes before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Kelly and the two Under Sheriff's arrived, and pro ceeded to the press-room, Where they wanted w4h.the officers of justice the approach of those who were to suffer. Triylor, a very gentlemanly-looking mail, dressed in a. black coat and waistcoat, drab' breeches, and top : boots, first entered, • He walked .along the roam and his countenance portray ed great and fortitude. answer to a question with fro o l lfipue Mr. lep S 4 , h htiffKelly, he said, e hoped composure he should be forgiven by the and lie4as glad to say that' he felt very comfortable, through the divine assistance . he had 'received."' His arms tu wrists having been made fast by the cords, be was seated on the condemned seat. The next that en tered was Johnson. He appeared very weak in deed, and as he walked,' his legs seemed as if they we re unable to perform th e i r o ffi ce . H e seeme d very penitent ; and . , during the operation of pinioning, he clasped his hands, and raised his eyes fervently to heaven. The next that entered was Benfield, who underwent the same operation with a becoming forti tude. This young man, although then very stout, was remarked bY all to have fallen away considerably since lie trial. Savage came into the room with a hurried step, and underwent the pinioning ! with peat firmness. His manner was very becoming his awful situation, a circumstance that gave great pleasure to all, as it was expected he would, up to the last moment, persist in his wicked and profane disposition. Every thing being arranged, the melancholy proces sion,moved at a slow rate, through the dark winding passages of the prison, to the seaffiild, the Rev. Ordi nary reading aloud that part of the funeral service— " 1 know that my Redeemer liveth," and the prison bell tolling gloomily as it proceeded. Yet the men did not seem the least intimidated, but kept a steady step till they reached the fatal engine that was to ter inmate their existence in this world. Taylor mounted the scaffold first, then Johnson, next Bonfield, and lastly, his brother-in-law, Savage, who ascended the steps very quickly. The executioners having adjusted the ropes, the Rev. Ordinary remained a few short moments in prayer, and the fatal signal Having been given, the four unfortunate victims to crime were launched into eternity. They seemed to die almost immediately, and after their bodies had hung the usual time, they were cut down and delivered over to their friends. We are sorry to conclude our account by stating, that before the hour arrived for the execution, carts and waggons were allowed very injudiciously to pa s s and repass, the consequence was, that a poor man was crushed between the gallows and K coal - Waggon in such a dreadful manner, that he was carried to the hospital with little hopes of recovery. HONDURAS JOINT STOCK COMPANY. . , - - - - A meeting of the Shareholder, of this CamPani- took place on Monday, at 13ateou's Coffee-house, Cornhill. Mr. W. CLARE, . the Chairman, stated that 8,610 shares had been issued on the 12th of April, 1/325, of which 4,025 had been repurchased by tbe Directors before the liSth ofjuly, at a loss to the Company of b,9001. It also appeared that a shipment of Indigo from Honduras had cost the concern 19,0661. and Was sold hl t for 7,4721. ; and that of 46,a 901 . , the origi na l capital of country oftheComPsoys net more than b,7601. was now availabl e to the Shareholde rs. It was c onsequently resol , p l an of the Hondu ras . , Vcd., that the Company was a n abort i v e scheme, and that the parties who pr o - I muted it should be held responsible for the whole amount of th e deposits; that the me e t i n g - declined to ref:quiet the aocouuts and proceedings of the self-elected Directors and Trustees. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, JUNE 6 .—Yesterday afternoon at two o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Earl of Fife, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, followed by his usual attendants in the double-bodied and sin gle phaetons, with the tegular retinue of out-riders, and on leaving the Royal Lodge his Majesty pro ceeded by Sandpit Gate to Ascot Heath, and took a view of the Duke of York's New Stand; which is erected close to that'of his Majesty's, and also of the New Betting Stand, and teinporary Stables. His Majesty returned by Virginia Water, and inspected the New Bridge ; and the Fishing Temple, which are nearly completed. - After which his Majesty enjoyed some of the rural drives in that delightful vicinity, and returned to the Royal Lodge at half past six o'clock, where hie Majesty was met by the following distinguished personages, who arrived a t t h e ,It oya l Lodge by invitation :—the Duke of Leeds, the Duke of Dorset, Earl and Countess of Warwick, Earl and Countess of Scarborough; Lord and Lady Strathaven, Lord Graves, the Lady of Sir Henry Wellesley, &c.; the whole of whom had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his Majesty. Thi s d ay t h e Duke of W e lli ngton and other distinguished person ages are expected to join the Royal party. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of York entertained a large party of his distinguished friends at Frogmore Lodge, with a sumptuous dinner, among whom were the Dukes of Richmond, Portland, Graf ton, and St. Albans ; Earl of Chesterfield, Lord George Cavendish, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Greville, Mr. Prendergast, &c.. This day his Royal Highness will have agreat addition to his party.

Yesterday the Duke of York had a select party to dinner at Frogmore Lodge. His Royal Highness gives dinner parties every day this week during the races. On Monday the Right lion. W. Huskisson enter tained the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, Mr. Secretary Canning, &c. to dinner, at his residence in Somerset-place. We know not how the report got into circul a ti on , which design a t e d L a dy H a lfo r d - as destined to the Peerage. Doubtless her Ladyship would adorn any rank in society ; but we have reason to know that the rumour above mentioned was, in all its circumstances, perfectly unfounded.—Netu Times. The Gazette o f l as t ni g ht contains a notice to Aliens, in pursuance of the Act of the Session just concluded. Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) marched from Knightsbridge Barracks, under the command of Lieut.- Col. Hill, to Wormwood Scrubs, for the purpose of having a field-day. This fine, body of men went through the various evolutions greatly to the satisfac tion of the Gallant Commander The fineness of the day attracted a great number of persons to the ground. The regiment returned to Knightsbridge between twelve and one o'clock. The affairs of the late Marquis of Ormende, which have been the subject of so much general interest, and of peculiar anxiety to the present Marquis and his family, have at length been completely and satisfactorily wound up. The immense sums produced by the sale of the English .estates : have been paid into the Bank of England; the amount has been ascekained to ex ceed the debts considerably, and an applieatidn will be .Iriade.to the Chancellor, as a matter of course, early h the next week; and his Lordship will be put into irn• mediate end full possession ofoll the ()monde estates. Paper. On Saturday, the 27th May, between live and six in the evening, the hamlet of Canebe, in the com mune of Jujuieux (Ain), was laid waste by an exten sive inundation, caused by the bursting of a water spout upon the adjacent mountain. The torrent (sud denly formed) precipitated itself with such violence as to overtu'n and sweep away all that was found in its course: The cellars and lower stories of all the houses of the hamlet were inundated, and in some of them the water rose to the height of ten feet. On the site of the village of Canebe nothing is seen but walls thrown down, vines torn up by the roots, meadows covered with ,earth and rubbish, and, to complete the wretchedness'of the unhappy cultivator, all hopes of his harvest for more than one year utterly destroYed. In the vicinity of Blair Adam, a few days since, as one of the female servants, in leaving the house, was passing some of het former fellow -servants, who were s at that time occupied in heating a very large boiler, one of the men, in sport, took 'her up in his arms, and facetiously said, that as she was now flitting, and this might be the last time they might all meet, he wo uld give her a dip in th e boiler.'‘ A struggle ensued, they lost their balance, an d, h orr ibl e to relate, were . plunged into - Ole vessel, which at that moment was -nearly full of boiling water. The injury sustained was' such, that the man died the same evening, and th'i woman expired next morning in the most excruciating agonies. --.File Herald.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—PIage DAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 6. The beet and most attractive of the Metropolitan Races som menced yesterday, and, from the result, we do not hesitate to pre dict that the meeting of 1826 will be one of the most • splendid upon record. " His Majesty arrived on the Course a little before the commence ment of the races, in a chariot and four bays, attended by the Duke of Dorset, Master of the How, and followed by his suite, in car riages and four. His Majesty came up the New Mile, and was loudly greeted by the spectat ors . Hi s Majm, on ar r i v i ng at t h e Royal Staud, y presented himself at the window, and repeatedly bowed to the multitude assembled iu front. m a M a j,,, ty j uoked very well, and throughout the day held conversation with the dif ferentnoblemen and gentlemen present, amongst whom we no ticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Welling.. ton, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Grafton, the Duke of Portland ; the Marquises of Graham, Conynghame, and Exeter Lords Fife, Str a db ro k e , D unw i c h , Egremont, &c. Th ere were also in the Stand, the Marchioness of Conytighame, and Lady Georgina and Miss Wellesley, and several families of distinction ; indeed, the whole of the great room in the Stand, the anti-room, and the flat, were actually crowded. llis Royal Highness the Duke of York was in his own stand repeatedly, which was also occupied by several fashionables ; the fiat was also covered with spectators. The sport terminated about , a quarter before five o'clock, and his Majesty left the course in the same style as he came, amidst the cheering of the people. Sir Richard Birme, attended by Townshend, Sayers, Bishop, and a strong body of police, was on the alert, and effectually guarded against the depredations of the pickpockets ; nor did we hear that any accident omirred. His Majesty in the evening entertained a select dinner party, at which were present the Duke of Portland, Duke of Wellington, puke of Dorset, and a few others.

The Committee for the promotion end distribution of the Subscriptions in behalf of the distressed •Manu *torero, at their last Meeting, had kid before them the 'Report of a Special .Committee, appointed to cor respond with the diffivent manufacturing districts, and to collect accurate information regarding the, extent of the present distress. The Report was accompanied with numerous documents, specifying the particulars required to be ascertained ; and it is matter of deep regret to state, that the extent of human suffering is far beyond any description of it which has been laid. before the public. Independent of the County 9f Lanark, it was ascertained that there were * T w a y* of thirty thousand operatives entirely without employ, mein in the. counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Dumbarton, Stirling, and Forfar. The proportion of looms, with out a single web to employ them, amounted, on an average; to three-fourths of the whole number in many of the towns, whose population consisted chiefly of weavers and other operatives., Whole families were,' in consequence, literally without the common neces- series of life ; many of them having scarcely ten pence per day to supply the wants of four or five indi viduals. It appeared also that a great number of poor women, old , and young, whose employment depended wholly on the work furnished them by the weavers, had been thrown destitute on the country ; and the schools, in many quarters, were entirely deserted,„ great: s est Cdr- t l i m o i ns sho b i e t, n i l t ad is meb}afmtnifieestp,utbilliact tou7alfless,ordtitmeeni.
